#JamesHarrison died
Who was James Harrison?
From age 18 to 81, every 2 weeks, he donated blood #plasma (unpaid)
He had the world record until 2022
The twist:
James' blood had high levels of Anti-D
#AntiD protects fetuses from Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn- the mother and fetus have immunological incompatibility
Before the 1960s, 50% of babies diagnosed with #HDFN died
James Harrison, over his life, saved *2.4 million* babies
Infamously, this isn’t the first time #Trump has cut off #military #aid to #Zelensky & #Ukraine. In July 2019, he had a phone call w/Zelensky in which he said Zelensky should deliver info he could use against Joe #Biden in return for unfreezing military aid. Trump had halted supplies to Ukraine, which had been fighting #Russia & Russia-backed insurgents since 2014, he only resumed the aid months later when word of Trump’s #extortion leaked. It resulted in Trump’s first #impeachment.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
